Hi,I have a NPC who disappears when I leave a town,but reappears when I enter a new town.Question: does the NPC need a separate graphicssheet for a town and another sheet for the surface?

Thanks in advance for any help.gcmaxxon

Hi,Ok, I found it. Thanks for the help. This will make my life so much simlper.

quote:Referrance: BoA Editor Docs v1.2, pg. 20Setting the Starting Location:One thing you will need to do for every scenario is edit where the party starts out when they firstenter it. The party always starts somewhere inside one of your towns. There are two steps for this.First, go to the outdoor section containing the town the party starts in. Select Set Starting Locationfrom the Outdoor menu and then select the location of the town the party starts in.Then load the town the party starts in. Select Set Starting Location from the Town menu, and t h e nselect the location in the town the party starts at .For more details on editing/loading towns and outdoor sections, read the chapters on Editing t h eOutdoors and Editing Towns.

I just put the referrance there for anyone else who may be having similar problems coding and learning at the same time.

Hi,Is there a simple way to check out your new coding without having to go through the whole scenario just to see the results,then having to go back and forth until you get it just right?What I mean is there a way of just checking the new town out by it self and then later just attach it to the main scenario?Sort of like a subroutine that is called from the main scenario and if ok as it is then left attached.Thanks in advance for any help.gcmaxxon

BTW, thanks for the cutscene advice.

Hi,Does anyone have any ideals about the coding for taking a NPC that is currently in my party, release that NPC and then have him go and talk to an other NPC? Since the new scenario I'm working on is based on a singleton, I need NPC's to do some of the work for me. BTW, another reason for the NPC's doing some of the work because my "Lone Wolf" character is starting out as a level one priest with just the opening cloths on his back.

Thanks in advance for any help.gcmaxxon

Hi,Yes, you are correct. It is coding from "Castle Pudideum". I thought this was one (maybe the only way) way of displaying one of the party's name.Can I use your "dlgstr" coding?Thanks for the help.

If you would like a copy of the zip file from me, justemail me at: "gcmaxon at verizon.net" with youre-mail address and I'll forward a copy to you.(I just hope it is "OK" to do something like this?, because the files are not mine.)

Besides which I don't have own a "Mac".Oh well I guess you cannot have everything.

Hi,Boy, now I'm really confused :confused: ! I checked the verison of my program and found that I am using version "1.0.0.0"!I guess my main confusing is with following statement and I quote:

quote: Radium, "The problem is almost certainly that you're not using the most recent version of BoA. The HLPM uses string manipulation calls, which version 1.0.0 of BoA doesn't support. Update."

Where should I look for "string manipultion calls"?

Hi,For what it is worth I downloaded the "High Party" scenario from http://home.sanbrunocable.com/~tommywatts03/site and it works fine. I used my level one character of a "lone wolf" party and I was able to shop, etc.Kelandon, I suspect he/she is not using the latest version. The scenario noted that I had a level one party and was going to adjust accordingly. The "ReadMe" file said that I was using "High Level Party Maker v1.2.1"I am confused :confused: (so what is new!) about and I

quote: "No, I just downloaded it 2 days ago, it is the latest version, 1.0.3. So, I am back where I started, still not able to use High Party maker."

Wyndynights, you might want to check the folder's "ReadMe" file.

Just trying to help.gcmaxxon

Pearl S. Buck's epic Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of a China that was:Though more than sixty years have passed since this remarkable novel won the PulitzerPrize, it has retained its popularity and become one of the great modern classics. "Ican only write what I know, and I know nothing but China, having always lived there,"wrote Pearl Buck. In The Good Earth she presents a graphic view of a China when thelast emperor reigned and the vast political and social upheavals of the twentiethcentury were but distant rumblings for the ordinary people. This moving, classic storyof the honest farmer Wang Lung and his selfless wife O-lan is must reading for thosewho would fully appreciate the sweeping changes that have occurred in the lives ofthe Chinese people during this century.

Hi,Yes all the white appears to be there! I downloaded the file from your web site and converted it to a .bmp file. If you open it with a paint program you can then shrink the waterfall file and thereby get rid of the unusable white area.Hope this helps. :)gcmaxxon

Hi,Tough choice if I had to choose between Bah and Undead Valley. I loved Bah's "mirror puzzel" as much as I loved UV's "maze". It would be a tough choice for me because I enjoyed both. The bottom line is they both deserve a winning vote. I reserve my vote until I have fully gone throught the pain and time of producing my first scenerio. Until such time only for their and anyone else's effort my respect is offered. :)Respectfully,gcmaxxon

BTWThis assumes I had a vote it the first place, which I don't but it is just my opinion.

I am using Windows.Thanks again, looking forward to your next game.Respectfully,gcmaxxon
